Barack and Michelle Obama’s youngest daughter, Sasha, has reportedly been spotted for the first time since the rumors of her parents’ divorce started. According to a viral social media post, also reported by the Daily Mail, Sasha appeared “depressed” and “downcast” as she clutched a handful of books.
Among the books, there was a 2021 novel Bewilderment by Richard Power which “tells the emotion-charged story of a widowed astrobiologist struggling to raise his neurodivergent son”.
Both Malia, the elder daughter, and Sasha live in Los Angeles. Malia is a filmmaker and Sasha is a student at the University of Southern California.
The Obama Foundation recently issued a statement on the California fires though it is not known whether their two daughters were affected.
While the two daughters live in Los Angeles, Michelle Obama is believed to have checked out of the DC life and not staying with Barack Obama anymore. Their divorce speculations became intense after Michelle Obama missed two high-profile events — the funeral of Jimmy Carter and then the inauguration of Donald Trump. For the first occasion, her office said that there was a scheduling clash and she was in Hawaii on an extended vacation.
Coupled with divorce rumors, gossips that Barack Obama is now dating Hollywood actor Jennifer Aniston spread, though Aniston last year reacted to the speculations and dismissed them calling them absolutely untrue. On an episode of the Jimmy Kimmel show, she said she was aware of the magazine cover that reported about Barack Obama and Aniston’s alleged affair but she was not mad at the story, she said adding that she knew Michelle Obama more than Barack Obama and she and Barack met only once.
Amid the ongoing rumors, Barack Obama posted a birthday message for Michelle Obama calling her the “love of my life”, but social media users asked why Obama posted such a “horrible” photo of Michelle and why they were not together on Michelle’s birthday.
